Description
Kutani ware(九谷焼) is a traditional craft of Ishikawa prefecture(石川県) with a history of over 360 years. The beauty of nature, brilliant colour and fine calligraphy are the key features of this style of Japanese pottery.
Compared with Matchawan(抹茶碗) for a tea ceremony, Yunomi(湯飲み) is a type of teacup that is made for drinking tea on a daily basis. They are handleless, tall and cylindrical in shape. Because they can be found in almost every Sushi train restaurant, Yunomi is also called Sushi Yunomi(寿司湯飲み) in Japanese.
As the whole piece is handmade in Japan, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
